Great place Great location

Views are lovely, beds comfortable, place was clean, location was wonderfully quiet and 15-20 minutes from restaurants in Kihei. Central location for upcountry and West Maui. Having a washer and dryer in the unit was wonderful. The kitchen was well stocked as well. Some lovely snacks were there upon arrival. The only drawback was that the air conditioning unit was small. The bedrooms were fairly warm at night even with fans and windows open.

Nice condo at the beach

Location is great! Walk to the Aquarium and mini golf. Lots of things to do at the harbor. Not too far from most places. The unit is really nice. The lanai is protected from the wind. Beds were comfortable, kitchen is well appointed and there are bbq’s to use by the pool. Host was responsive. I would stay there again!

Beauty and the Beast

Upon arrival the main bedroom had sand or dirt in the bed and hair particles. Overall the condo was nice and the view was nice. Because bed was dirty it lead my mind to believe the condo was not properly cleaned. I washed all the sheets myself properly.

Could be better

This condo is all about the ocean view. Fabulous. Pool and barbecue are great also. Yes it is windy. All day, every day. Not that big of a deal for us. Bathrooms were good. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was good. Washer/dryer was good. Unit is a little dated but not bad. Now the bad. There is no A/C in the unit. The small window unit is useless in the living area and there is a note above it saying to not use it anyway. You can prop open the front door and the wind will blow through like a freight train to help cool off the living room. 2 bedrooms, one in front, one in back. We used the one in front. The only window wouldn’t open so no air flow in there. Thank God for the ceiling fan, box fan, and small fan on each night stand. Even with those we still slept with no covers on. The ceiling fan light chain didn’t work and 2 of the 4 bulbs were missing. I had to unscrew and rescrew the 2 bulbs to turn them off and on. There was no place to plug our phones and my CPAP on the night stands. I had to buy an extension cord and move the bed to plug it in and then plug my stuff in. There’s a window in line with the pillows. The blinds are fabric and useless. The first morning at 5:30am the whole room lights up from the sun. I had to hang a folded sheet to cover it. To the owners, fix the ceiling fan/fans. They are cheap to buy. Put an alarm clock/USB/outlet on each nightstand. It’s 2023 for Gods sake and people want to plug in their phones and CPAPs.

It’s ok.

The condo is outdated. Beds and living room furniture need to be updated, so uncomfortable! There is one A/C unit in the living room which pushes out very minimal air. And the rest of the unit is so stuffy it’s hard to breath when you try to sleep. Fans are provided which helped some! The pool was the best part of the condo, unless you have kids. The people seem stuck up, and lots of rules.

We always choose to stay on Maalaea because it is a central location and an easy starting point to wherever we want to go. This condo was very nice, clean and had a great view. We would definitely stay in this unit again.

Island Sands Unit

We really enjoyed the location of this condo. Quiet and chill. We watched the whales from this unit each day we were there. Thanks for having binos in the unit! Maalaea is kind of central from all we wanted to see and do, as well as close proximity to the airport when it was time to leave. We could walk down and see turtles as well!

Disappointing

The AC was inadequate, there was a lot of deferred maintenance, and the howling wind in the master was very annoying. The master bed is old and should be replaced.

great view

We really liked the condo and its location. Beech is around the corner. The only issue is the AC situation, condo has 1 window unit in the living room and its hard for the cold air to reach the master bedroom so if you don't have it running all day it's hard to have cold air at night when needed.

Great view with nice updates.

Great view and layout. Nicely updated and comfy beds. Was 88 every day for 2 weeks and didn't need ac once. Keep in mind it'll be breezy, extremely. Some of the beach equipment was pretty shot and only had 2 chairs for a 2 bedroom that was disappointing since we had 4 adults. But overall happy with the stay
